Although the 12km (eight miles) of trails here may be rather limited for some, there is skiing for all abilities here on trails which are up to 1.8km (1.1 mile) in length. Pyhä has a reputation for some of the toughest skiing in Finland on slopes like the Huttu-Ukko, a mogul slope which is also Finland's steepest and has been a venue for the Freestyle Skiing World Championships. The Northern slopes, which are the most recent addition to the ski area, provide those with less experience in downhill skiing with an opportunity to relax and enjoy themselves. These wide slopes are accessed by chairlift up to the treeline, with a t bar continuing on to the top. There are also special family slopes easily accessed from the hotel, although served by a T bar lift - common in Finland but not always easy to ride for an inexperienced and unbalanced parent and child. Between these two extremes there are several intermediate trails including Polar, an FIS-classified slope known as one of the best in Finland. Unusually for any international standard ski resort, there are more runs graded tough and graded easy than there are of intermediate level. Lifts are open every day between 9.30am and 5pm. all season, however if you visit in low season you may not find all running unless there is what the ski area management determine adequate demand to justify it. For night skiing the lifts are open until 7pm. A joint lift ticket with the nearby resort of Ruka is available. Pyhä has 150km of cross country tracks, connected to nearby Luosto, and with some of the trails floodlit. A 12km long route around the ski area and through the National Park is particularly rewarding for its scenic beauty, but should not be attempotred by novices as because of the National Park, the track cannot be groomed, which makes it even more interesting and challenging for experienced cross-country skiers.
